On a perfect spring morning I got together with the boys and took the Harleys for a ride about. Beautiful weather all day and some amazing riding along the St. John’s River. We were just beginning an unforgettable day at Riding into History 2022, the premier motorcycle show in the USA.

The event benefits K9’s for Warriors which provides highly trained service dogs to veterans suffering from PTSD, brain injuries and trauma. They unite around 20 veterans and dogs per year with a five-year waiting list. Last year’s event raised over $55,000 for a total of more than $250,000 donated to this organization. All staff are volunteers with Adamec H-D and Seargent Seats sponsoring the event from the start.

Bikes were on display from the beginning of motorcycles through modern day rides, European, Metric Harley and everything in between. Being able to talk to the owners and listen to all the stories associated with their bikes brings out such a sense of camaraderie among everyone there. Paul Jr. from Orange County Choppers was the grand marshal of the event which handed out trophies for all the classes. Attending an event like this is truly a special time for not only the motorcycle enthusiast and old school bikers but everyone that appreciates looking at the beautiful machines that have shaped what we ride today.
